Third victory for BjoergenFirst three victories for Kowalczyk, then three victories for Bjoergen: It seems that noone else can win a race in this year's Tour de Ski. Both competed already in the quarter- and semifinal and came to the final quite easily. In the final Kowalczyk wasn't as good as before and finished in third behind Bjoergen and Kikkan Randall. The Polish stays ahead in the Overall ranking of Tour de Ski. "This victory was very important because Justyna was very strong. But I gained a few seconds and it is good that Kikkan was between us today. Now I am very close to Justyna in the Overall ranking", said Bjoergen. Vesna Fabjan (SLO, Fischer) came in fifth in the final. Aurore Jean (FRA, Fischer) and Charlotte Kalla (SWE, Fischer) missed the final and finished ninth and eleventh.

Northug just beatenNikolai Morilov did it and claimed victory in the final stretch ahead of Petter Northug. The Norwegian gained a few seconds against Dario Cologna. The Swiss made the podium and finished third ahead of surprisingly strong South Tyrolean David Hofer (ITA, Fischer skis, boots and poles). The Italian made his best World Cup result and left Alexey Petukhov (RUS, Fischer skis and boots) and Alex Harvey (CAN, Fischer) behind. Josef Wenzl (GER, Fischer) just missed the final and was ranked seventh, Emil Jönsson (SWE, Fischer) came in eighth.
